This meditation is a collection of evocative affirmations adapted from a varied selection of sources, including Suzuki's lectures, Zen Buddhist texts, records of conversations with Sri. Nisargadatta Maharaj, philosophical tomes of Heraclitus, books on Advaita Vedanta (non-duality) and self-help classics. The profound words have been set to soul-stirring spiritual music, with stunningly beautiful scenes from nature, which will elevate you to a sweet meditative state. Here are a few suggestions on how to make the fullest possible use of this meditation:
a) Let the meditation run softly in the background. Make no effort to focus on or understand the words in the affirmations. b) Simply trust that your subconscious / soul will grasp the truth to which the words point, without any effort on your part. c) Whenever there is a gap of silence, focus softly either on the music or on the silence between the musical notes, or even on the meditative visuals. Just stay rested in the sacredness of the spaces. d) Alternatively, ponder on the meanings of the words. Most of the affirmations are simple yet powerfully positive statements. However, a few of them are like sutras in their brevity and depth. Some of them are related, some stand alone. May this meditation become a portal to the deep peace and bliss that resides in your Self![Episode # 44; Running Time: 00:09:00; File Type: HD Video; Content Rating: G* (*Suitable to listeners of all ages); Cover Art: Sunflowers; Music: CC by Paul Collier; Rights: Creative Commons Attribution]

Note: This is a video presentation of an excerpt from Episode # 40 of this podcast (see below), where you will find the audio version and also the complete lecture by Pramod.
Does it actually take a whole lifetime of spiritual practice to get enlightened? Pramod answers, "You are enlightened right now without any rigorous practice. So let what you call spiritual practice be a celebration of your connection, a gentle daily reminder to stay connected and to do this graceful dance between connected and not connected."

More and more athletes, dancers, stunt directors and many others involved in careers which are very physical in nature, are turning to mind work. As they warm to the idea of looking within for solutions, they often wonder how much the Law applies to their sphere of activity, because of the delicious physicality of their work. If you are one of those, then this episode is for you. In this episode, Pramod says, “Don’t be so hard on yourself and don’t look at meditation as something special you have never done in your life, something for which you still need to learn much more. Don’t turn meditation into something too sublime, too important, too formal to be done frequently and naturally. If meditation is sublime and important, you are even more sublime and important.”

In this special message, Pramod says, “The general tendency is to talk about generating love inside, but I think it’s very important to remember that we are not generating love, but we are getting into the flow or stream of love that is all around us, that pervades not just our life space, but All-that-is. .... Just ask yourself these questions with me right now. Are you feeling lonely? Do you feel a lack of love in your life? If so, then the next question is, what is it that I’m doing to cut myself off from that flow of love that’s always there? What is it that I need to drop right now?” This brief talk will help you bring the love back into your life, in this season of love.
